如何在Pandas中找到数字列？

Let’s say df is a pandas DataFrame. I would like to find all columns of numeric type. Something like:

isNumeric = is_numeric(df)

You could use select_dtypes method of DataFrame. It includes two parameters include and exclude. So isNumeric would look like:

numerics = ['int16', 'int32', 'int64', 'float16', 'float32', 'float64']

newdf = df.select_dtypes(include=numerics)

You can use the undocumented function _get_numeric_data() to filter only numeric columns:

df._get_numeric_data()

Example:

In [32]: data
Out[32]:
   A  B
0  1  s
1  2  s
2  3  s
3  4  s

In [33]: data._get_numeric_data()
Out[33]:
   A
0  1
1  2
2  3
3  4

Note that this is a “private method” (i.e., an implementation detail) and is subject to change or total removal in the future. Use with caution.

Simple one-line answer to create a new dataframe with only numeric columns:

df.select_dtypes(include=np.number)

If you want the names of numeric columns:

df.select_dtypes(include=np.number).columns.tolist()

Complete code:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': range(7, 10),
                   'B': np.random.rand(3),
                   'C': ['foo','bar','baz'],
                   'D': ['who','what','when']})
df
#    A         B    C     D
# 0  7  0.704021  foo   who
# 1  8  0.264025  bar  what
# 2  9  0.230671  baz  when

df_numerics_only = df.select_dtypes(include=np.number)
df_numerics_only
#    A         B
# 0  7  0.704021
# 1  8  0.264025
# 2  9  0.230671

colnames_numerics_only = df.select_dtypes(include=np.number).columns.tolist()
colnames_numerics_only
# ['A', 'B']

df.select_dtypes(exclude = ['object'])

Update

df.select_dtypes(inlcude = np.number)
#or with new version of panda
df.select_dtypes('number')

Simple one-liner:

df.select_dtypes('number').columns

Following codes will return list of names of the numeric columns of a data set.

cnames=list(marketing_train.select_dtypes(exclude=['object']).columns)

here marketing_train is my data set and select_dtypes() is function to select data types using exclude and include arguments and columns is used to fetch the column name of data set output of above code will be following:

['custAge',
     'campaign',
     'pdays',
     'previous',
     'emp.var.rate',
     'cons.price.idx',
     'cons.conf.idx',
     'euribor3m',
     'nr.employed',
     'pmonths',
     'pastEmail']

Thanks

This is another simple code for finding numeric column in pandas data frame,

numeric_clmns = df.dtypes[df.dtypes != "object"].index 

def is_type(df, baseType):
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd
    test = [issubclass(np.dtype(d).type, baseType) for d in df.dtypes]
    return pd.DataFrame(data = test, index = df.columns, columns = ["test"])
def is_float(df):
    import numpy as np
    return is_type(df, np.float)
def is_number(df):
    import numpy as np
    return is_type(df, np.number)
def is_integer(df):
    import numpy as np
    return is_type(df, np.integer)

Adapting this answer, you could do

df.ix[:,df.applymap(np.isreal).all(axis=0)]

Here, np.applymap(np.isreal) shows whether every cell in the data frame is numeric, and .axis(all=0) checks if all values in a column are True and returns a series of Booleans that can be used to index the desired columns.

Please see the below code:

if(dataset.select_dtypes(include=[np.number]).shape[1] > 0):
display(dataset.select_dtypes(include=[np.number]).describe())
if(dataset.select_dtypes(include=[np.object]).shape[1] > 0):
display(dataset.select_dtypes(include=[np.object]).describe())

This way you can check whether the value are numeric such as float and int or the srting values. the second if statement is used for checking the string values which is referred by the object.

We can include and exclude data types as per the requirement as below:

train.select_dtypes(include=None, exclude=None)
train.select_dtypes(include='number') #will include all the numeric types

To select all numeric types, use np.number or 'number'

• To select strings you must use the object dtype but note that this will return all object dtype columns

• See the NumPy dtype hierarchy <http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.scalars.html>__

• To select datetimes, use np.datetime64, 'datetime' or 'datetime64'

• To select timedeltas, use np.timedelta64, 'timedelta' or 'timedelta64'

• To select Pandas categorical dtypes, use 'category'

• To select Pandas datetimetz dtypes, use 'datetimetz' (new in 0.20.0) or “’datetime64[ns, tz]’
